Game Review - Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

After the release of Rayman Raving Rabbids and its success on both PC and consoles (especially on the Nintendo Wii), it was clear that sooner or later Ubisoft would make a sequel. And now, a year and a half later, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 appears on the shelves.

Like the first part, the sequel was developed primarily for the Nintendo Wii, but the development of the port on the PC was also not abandoned.

The whole game has turned into a simple set of 16 mini-games with small videos before each competition. We don't even have to gradually go through some mini-games to unlock others, because all 16 are available from the very beginning. All you have to do is go to the menu and choose a match to your liking.

The very essence of the mini-games remains the same. We're going to have to be in the middle of a rabbit frenzy again. The developers simply changed some of the old games, added a few new ones, and simply removed some. This time you will have to play rugby, work as a waiter in a restaurant, roast a chicken with hot pepper, "show off" in the office while the boss is not looking, and even wash your underwear. Unfortunately, the rabbits "forgot how" to dance – it's a pity, it was my favorite competition in Rayman Raving Rabbids. And for some reason, shooting with plungers was left out. Nevertheless, it's fun to play because all the mini-games are made in the good old rabbit-crazy style.

Management, as in the first part, is simplified to the maximum. All we need when playing alone is a mouse. In most competitions, we will have to move left and right very quickly, which gets boring pretty quickly, and the brushes get tired. It is possible to play 4th on the same computer, but it is even more difficult to quickly press the left-right buttons on the keyboard than to move the mouse, and on standard PlayStation-style gamepads, this task is sometimes unrealistic. After all, the game is made for Wii, and only on this console can you fully enjoy it.

In Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, we will have to play not only an old hero named Rayman. From now on, we will be given a choice of 4 more rabbits in various funny costumes. The essence of the game does not change from the choice of a character, and at any moment you can choose another hero for the next competition.

The goal of the whole game is absolutely elementary - to score as many points as possible. The top 4 players will be immortalized in the standings. Initially, the best character in the table has 12,000 points and your goal, when playing alone, is to break this record and perpetuate yourself in first place. It took me about an hour to occupy all 16 pedestals. When playing with friends, it will be much more interesting to play, as you will have direct competitors here.

Graphically, the game has changed for the better. The rabbits have been given polygons and now they look much nicer. The graphics style has remained the same, which is undoubtedly encouraging.
In principle, there were no changes to the sound. There is no music in the game as a kind, and the old unforgettable rabbit scream remains as a substitute for the soundtrack.

The Russian localization of the game was named RAYMAN: Rabid Rabbits 2 and appeared on the shelves simultaneously with the European release, which is natural, because there are no dialogues in the game, and the text here is for 10 minutes of translator work: the menu and the description of each mini-game.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is hardly a full-fledged game, no, it's a set of 16 fun mini-games. It's a lot of fun to play, but if you play alone, you can only last for an hour. But the ability to play with up to 4 players on the same computer opens up new boundaries and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 can be a good fun for gatherings with friends. In addition, funny rabbits will certainly appeal to children, so you can arrange family competitions. The only drawback of the game is that the controls are not very PC-friendly.

If you have a Nintendo Wii at home, then don't hesitate to buy Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, but the PC port is worth buying for playing with friends, the fun will end very quickly alone.
